An approximation to the Fukui function in atoms recently proposed in the form of a gradient correction to the local density approximation expression is here investigated. The spatial behavior of this function is analyzed, focusing on the gradient correction term. Physical information on the shell st

β¦ Synopsis
It IS dcmonstratcd th.!t the ground-state atomic kinetic energy functlonal T[p] , wluxe p is the electron density, can bc computed to surprrsing accuracy from the truncated gradient cupanslon: T[p] = To[pJ + Tz [p] f Tq[pj, wrth To[p] = 1_:(3n2)2'3 1~"~ dT. Tz[P] = +2 JW/J)~P-~ dr, and 'T,4 [p] given by the formula of Ifodgcs. Calculations of TO, T2 and T4 xc reported for He with p both the Ilartrce-Fock and 3 very accurate density, and for NC. Ar and Kr with p the IInrtrcc-Fock density. For Kr, TO + T2 + T4 IS wlthin 0.3% of the cuJct IIartrcc-l'ock T, with Tz/To = 0.05, T4/T2 = 0.17.

A kinetic energy analysis of total energy differences in 115 atomic multiplet states is presented. We show by numerical restricted Hartree-Fock calculations that there is a reasonably accurate linear relationship between the kinetic energy of the electrons in open subshells and the total energy with
It is shown, by calculations in He and Ne with HF densities, that the improvement obtained when gradient corrections are added to the iocal approximation to the kinetic enegg, arises from a detailed improvement in the kinetic energy density. Approximate energy density functionals [l] have

Using several types of simple generating orbitals, explicit expressions for w x w x the kinetic-energy functional T and the exchange functional E were generated in the context of the local-scaling transformation version of density functional theory. The variational parameters in these orbitals were
The kinetic and the exchange energy functionals are expressed in the form T [ p ] = CTFj drp5/3(r)f.,(s) and K [ p ] = C,/drp4/3(r)fK(s), where C,, = (3/10)(3.rr2)2/3 and C , = -(3/4)(3/7~)'/~ are the Thomas-Fermi and the Dirac coefficients, respectively, and s = lVp(r)l/C, p4l3(r), with C, = 2 ( 3
